First, I made these vanilla cupcakes with a passionfruit buttercream I pretty much made up as I went. I loved the competition between flavors on this cupcake. I baked the cupcakes in these pretty little cups I bought last year from here. Afterwards, I placed one cupcake in a little Chinese takeout box, attached an initialed tag, and then dropped off the little packages on nearby doorsteps. What gal couldn't use a cupcake at the end of the day? I know I could use one...or two...or a dozen. Locally, you can buy fantastic containers/boxes for this kind of thing at Xpedx on 33rd and State.


I love buttercream. What a nice treat!
